Absolute car-nage.

Quick, I say Remedy, you say… well? If you saidDeath Rallyand notMax Payneor Control, you’re either a massive clever-clogs or you looked at the header of this story. To commemorate the studio’s 25th birthday, the developers are making their very first game free to keep forever. Great news, if you’re into bloody car combat racers from the grindhouse depths of 1996.

These days, Remedy are best known for their third-person supernatural Twin Peaks ‘em ups. But to celebrate being slightly younger than yours truly, they’re making their very first videogame free forever - and you probably couldn’t get any further from their later work thanDeath Rally’sCarmageddon-esque vehicular manslaughter.

While it did geta remake back in 2012, what you’re getting here is the ‘96 original wot, a game that started Remedy down a road that’d eventually lead to the brilliantControl. It’s been free before, too, in a kind oflimited freeware formback in 2009. This time around, Remedy are giving away the whole thing, to keep, until the end of time (or, well, Steam).

I haven’t played it, admittedly, but I reckon it’s a fascinating, curious dive into the depths of the studio’s history. If you’re up for wrecking a few dozen jeeps, Death Rally is free to pick up over onSteam.
